Abstract

A method for controlling travelling of a vehicle platoon includes: establishing, by a target vehicle of the vehicle platoon, a network connection with a remote control terminal; determining, by the target vehicle, that the target vehicle is to be remotely taken over; initiating, by the target vehicle, control of statuses of vehicles of the vehicle platoon other than the target vehicle; transmitting, by the target vehicle, a takeover request to the remote control terminal, controlling, by the remote control terminal, the target vehicle to enter a driving state; and receiving, by the target vehicle, a takeover confirmation message transmitted by the remote control terminal, wherein the vehicles include a leading vehicle (LV) and a following vehicle (FV) of the LV.

 setting, by the target vehicle, a status of the target vehicle to a free state; and 
 travelling, by the target vehicle, out of the vehicle platoon. 
   
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 transmitting, by the target vehicle, status information of the target vehicle to the remote control terminal;   determining, by the remote control terminal, traveling information based on the status information;   receiving, by the target vehicle, the travelling information transmitted by the remote control terminal; and   performing, by the target vehicle, a driving behavior based on the travelling information.   
     
     
         5 . An apparatus for controlling travelling of a vehicle platoon, the apparatus comprising:
 at least one memory configured to store computer program code; and   at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code comprising:
 connection code, configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to establish network connection with a remote control terminal; 
 processing code, configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to:
 determine that a target vehicle of the vehicle platoon is to be remotely taken over; and 
 initiate control of a plurality of statuses of a plurality of vehicles of the vehicle platoon other than the target vehicle; 
 
 first transmission code, configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to transmit a takeover request to the remote control terminal; and 
 first receiving code, configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to receive a takeover confirmation message transmitted by the remote control terminal, 
   wherein the remote control terminal is configured to control the target vehicle to enter a driving state based on the takeover request, and   wherein the plurality of vehicles comprise a leading vehicle (LV) and a following vehicle (FV) of the LV.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the target vehicle is the LV,
 wherein the processing code is further configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to transmit a platoon dismissing message to the FV, and   wherein the FV is configured to set a status of the FV to a free state and travel out of the vehicle platoon, based on receiving the platoon dismissing message.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the target vehicle is the FV,
 wherein the processing code is further configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to:
 transmit a leaving request message to the LV, 
 receive a platoon dismissing message transmitted by the LV; and 
 set a status of the target vehicle to a free state, and 
   wherein the target vehicle is configured to travel out of the vehicle platoon based on the status being set to the free state.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the program code further comprises:
 second transmission code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to transmit status information of the target vehicle to the remote control terminal;   second receiving code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to receive travelling information transmitted by the remote control terminal; and   performing code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to control a driving behavior of the target vehicle based on the travelling information, and   wherein the remote control terminal is configured to determine the travelling information based on the status information.   
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing computer code which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to at least:
 establish network connection with a remote control terminal;   determine that a target vehicle of a vehicle platoon is to be remotely taken over;   initiate control of a plurality of statuses of a plurality of vehicles of the vehicle platoon other than the target vehicle;   transmit a takeover request to the remote control terminal; and   receive a takeover confirmation message transmitted by the remote control terminal,   wherein the remote control terminal is configured to control the target vehicle to enter a driving state based on the takeover request, and   wherein the plurality of vehicles comprise a leading vehicle (LV) and a following vehicle (FV) of the LV.
